I have a text file similar to this (separated by spaces): x <- "DF12 This is an example 1 This DF12 This is an 1232 This is DF14 This is 12334 This is an DF15 This 23 This is an example "
and I know the field lengths of each variable (there is 5 variables in this data set), which are: varlength <- c(2, 2, 18, 5, 18) How can I import this kind of data into R, using the varlength variable as an field separator indicator? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
